HaRav Chaim Mann, zt"l

From BreslevTsfat.com:It is with great sorrow we inform you about the sudden passing of Rav Chaim Mann, zt"l, who was known for his exceptional piety, mesirus nefesh, and good deeds, in particular hachnasas orchim in his home in Kiryat Breslev, Tsfat. He was a talmid chacham and beloved for his pleasant and peaceful ways. He was one of the closest students of Rav Gedaliah Aharon Kenig, zt"l, and in his youth, attended yeshiva with Rav Elazar Mordechai Kenig, shlita, remaining devoted to the mission of building Tsfat for over 50 years. 69 years old, he left this world on the way back from Uman, returning his soul shortly after landing in Ben Gurion. Words cannot express the profound void felt in Breslev Tsfat and by everyone who knew him. May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.
